Episode Details

Beyond race or class, a powerful, unseen phenomenon has shaped American life: a hidden caste system. In this revelatory masterwork, Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson exposes the rigid social hierarchy that has defined our nation from its beginnings. Drawing stunning parallels to the caste systems of India and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson provides a groundbreaking new framework for understanding our deepest divisions. Caste is the essential, eye-opening book that redefines our understanding of history, ourselves, and the origins of our discontents.
